i know, and the sad thing is i'll probably still get them. It's a little scary isn't it?

Very scary Bob. I haven't rented the newest ones yet. I'll probably pick them up sometime at Blockbuster, though I doubt they will be worth it.

They make them because they are cheap and they attract the eye of Joe Movie Renter at Blockbuster and almost always make their production budget back. They are like penny stocks. You don't have to make much on them to make a profit.

And you forgot the infamous, American Pie: Band Camp with only Eugene Levy from the original cast.
